What's wrong with your octo?

Nothing it's just that I want an insump skimmer for the looks

Beside the tank is in my room and that the fact that I'm going away and my friend knows nothing about tanks she will only feed the fish and top off... If the cup overflows it will overflow in the sump.. so I don't have to worry about a smelly carped and mad neighbors :P

+1, you can even vent the top with a charcoal filter.

well it looks like your skimmer has a drain hole connected to a 1 gallon container. why not just put a larger bucket in there instead of modding it into a collection cup.

Because the tank is in my room and it will look uglier LOL I got a quote for a cabinet to hide the skimmer and it's half of the price of a new one.

And since i'm going away I won't have to worry about it going crazy
